Poorer conditions than ARRL VHF. 6m opening about an hour into the contest to
north-central US into Canada, but low operator density there. In-and-out
Pacific NW openings in the afternoon and after dark Saturday. Texas opened up
at 8am local time on Sunday and was open off and on into the afternoon, but not
very strong or geographically widespread. Lost 30 minutes on Saturday from the
fringes of a severe thunderstorm, and lost many potential QSOs from an unknown
transient neighborhood noise source. A total of 5 in-state QSOs, including 2
from a SOTA activation. Highlight was very short skip into Colorado (370
miles) on Saturday, but only one QSO made.
